The Hay Wain by John Constable
The Hay Wain by John Constable
The Hay Wain (1821)
John Constable | Romanticism | Oil on canvas
A wooden cart crosses a peaceful river by a cozy cottage. Fluffy clouds float over the English countryside!
Did you know? Constable painted this scene in his London studio, working from sketches he made outdoors over several years. He first called it "Landscape: Noon," and his friend Archdeacon Fisher came up with the name "The Hay Wain." Which title do you like better?
